4. Transformations with phase change
Various heat treatments can modify the structure of metals and alloys. Order-disorder transformation, observed when heating ordered intermediate phases

, is one example; the recrystallization of work-hardened metals, studied in detail in the article Work-hardening of aluminum alloys, is another. , is another; in the latter case, there is a change in microstructure (grain boundaries, etc.) but virtually no change in crystal structure.
This section focuses on the very important and numerous...
